'A lot of people burned': Plane crashes, explodes 'into a huge ball of fire' on roof of furniture factory

Hundreds of people were working inside.

The images are astonishing, the results are terrible.

This Thursday, a small plane with a capacity of 4 seats crashed in California (United States). The plane took off early in the afternoon (2 p.m. local) from Fullerton airport, a few kilometers from Disneyland park. Everything happened very quickly, since the device did not have time to reach an altitude of 300 meters. The pilot called “immediate return”, according to information from the New York Times.

300 meters from the track

After attempting a 180-degree turn, the plane crashed into a furniture manufacturing factory, just 300 meters from the runway, where hundreds of people were working. The device “having exploded in a huge ball of fire upon impacting the roof of the facility”specify our colleagues.
